Local Restaurants

To maintain an evergreen list of gluten-free restaurants in the Portland Metro area we included links to websites where they maintain lists to GF friendly restaurants! They update their databases and lists regularly so check back often.

Please remember that when dining out we cannot guarantee that you will have a gluten free experience. The restaurants listed in the links below were recommended by members of those websites who had a good GF dining experiences. Many of these establishments have very knowledgeable staff and work hard to keep us safe. Some of these restaurants have gluten free menus and some do not. Please always notify your waitstaff either way that you cannot eat gluten and discuss the safest options to avoid both cross contamination and direct contact with gluten.

If you have been "glutened" or had another bad experience please let the restaurant, promoting website or us know. Communication provides constructive feedback to the restaurant with unsafe practices and promotes awareness for the GF community.

Thanks and Happy Gluten-Free Eating!
